Altruis the Sufferer wants you to obtain Freshly Drawn Blood from a Wrath Priestess at Forge Base: Gehenna in Netherstorm. Spill it on the ground and slay the Avatar of Sathal. Return to Altruis when you've completed this task.

Description

The Burning Legion has proven its capacity to corrupt mortal souls time and again. If I'm to entrust you with the knowledge you seek, I must have proof of your allegiance.

A demoness known as Sathal has eluded me for a long time as she's gifted with an incorporeal form.

She watches over the wrath priestesses as they do her bidding at Forge Base: Gehenna. Slay one of her minions and spill her blood on the ground. This affront should cause Sathal to materialize temporarily. Slay her while you can.

The blood has a duration of 60 seconds, so the better solution is to clear a small area in advance, kill a Priestess and then summon the Avatar immediately after.

Comment by Cloudeh

Easy, just kill a Priestess (Most likely you will pull another add tho, since they wander around all the other mobs), use the blood (Think its 100% drop chance, duration of 60 seconds tho) and kill the Avatar (Has almost no hp and hits weak) and then youre done.

This quest was REALLY annoying to me . The blood is a 100% drop but it has only a duration of 1 min so theres not really time to get ready or move to a safe place to fight here . She begins with a 900+ shadow bolt and and occansion rain of green fire that will do 1k for each time you get hit by it . Despite what i just said shes not that hard , you just have to make sure the area is clear because if you dont then you will most likely die , depending on your class .

Comment by phantomeagle

Wasn't hard at all. The secret is to make sure area is clear, too many adds. Luckily there was a Horde character clearing mobs. Find corner to nail the Priestess, click the blood, and then nail the Avatar. (69 Balance Druid)

Comment by WRXmckenzie

The blood is NOT a 100% drop rate. I probably killed around 15 of the priestesses and it took me about 20 minutes to do the quest. There is only like 4 or 5 that respawn so I had to wait for that. Got pretty annoying but it sounds like it was easy for everyone else.

Comment by Ragaxen

It helps a lot if you have a flying mount, because it is quite hard to find them. Just keep flying around, eventually you'll find one. I found mine at the bottom of the higher hill.

Comment by wowhennie

This quest does count towards the Loremaster of Outland achievement "Nagrand Slam"

Comment by dawfedora

When I try to "spill blood", it tells me "You need to be in The Forge of Souls". Is this a new 3.3.0 bug, or is there some special place within Forge Base: Gehenna that I have to be?

Comment by brosemon

Same thing as dawfedora, when i tried to spill the blood, it said i needed to be in the forge of souls....

Comment by Rikeni

Same thing as dawfedora and brosemon---the game won't let me spill the blood. I've tried all around Gehanna, no luck. I'm guessing this is a bug with 3.3...?

Comment by nazgul84

Same problem guys "You need to be in The Forge of Souls" all the time it wont let me spill the blood.

Comment by in2it

This is REALLY annoying. I have the same problem as you guys. Im there.. picking up some blood (witch drops on all priestests) and then when I click it nothing happens. Then I fly to another location and click it again, nothing and so on... ofc it despawn after those 60 secs. Take a new one and tries again, no luck.

Gief fix nau!

NOTE! The place the error points you to is:

"The Forge of Souls is the first wing of the dungeon complex known as the Frozen Halls, located within Icecrown Citadel."

So its defiantly a patch 3.3 error

Comment by pyroblade5

if you get a group an actualy port into the dungeon in time with the blood you can summon the avatar in the forge of souls to complete the quest

Comment by masterjc

as Patch 3.3.0looks like quest is bugged.i can't spill blood on the ground.it says, i have to be in The Forge Of Soulsonly forge of souls i know, is in icecrown...wtfasked about it to GM, he told they knew it and bug would be fixed as soon as possible, anyway, as 3,3,0a it is still bugged

i took this quest at level 72 or 73. today became level 80.first thing i did, went to netherstorm and queued for FORGE OF SOULS. at last did it :Dand now have NAGRAND SLAM achievement.blizz, u are lazy

Comment by nazgul84

i have talked to a GM and told me that they aware of the problem and soon they will fix it for now or abbandon quest or do keep for later! or u can do as pyroblade says!

Comment by tihutoha

ARE YOU EFFFING SERIOUS BLIZZARD? This is the LAST part of the LAST quest I need for Nagrand Slam. I cannot find anymore nagrand quests and I spent all day questing in SMV to unlock the chain..../sigh...

Edit....I just had a stroke of genius, thank you Blizz for the new LFG tool....heh heh heh....

P.S. IT WORKED! I went into the new queue, waited for the "enter dungeon" box, killed a mistress, got the blood, zoned into the dungeon, spilled the blood and killed the chick. The random group was like "WTF?". I explained it to them, and they got a good laugh.

Comment by johannhowitzer

Still broken as of the latest patch. Why you have to go to Northrend for a Netherstorm quest is beyond me.

Comment by hubertdunbee

If you are on the quest Teleport this! it also says you have to be in the forge of souls to use an object that you are supposed to use on the mo'arg in forge base:Gehenna

Comment by Aspiik

You can easily do that by joining to group by new LFG system and use that blood when you are teleported to the forge of souls instance and complete the quest, it only can be completed at level 80 only, now with that bug...

Comment by umrete

Yeah wtf, you can online summon the avatar in the dungeon Forge of souls. Nasty bug especially if you are trying to complete your Nagrand quest achievement. I did mine in the dungeon.

Comment by Tasogare

Yep, still bugged. My girlfriend tried to finish this today and there's still no fix. What the heck, Blizz? =\',date:

Comment by Lelz

Same here, got that stupid bug. Tried going to FoS but didn't work for me, blood had 40s left as well, tried a few times, doesn't work..

Comment by dmisrafel

It is still possible to achieve Nagrand Slam as Alliance without this quest, but it requires you to finish every other credit-giving quest for Alliance in Nagrand, as there are 76 for-credit Alliance quests in the zone. If you haven't been able to finish it without this, check the following quests you may have overlooked:

Comment by WildKarrde

I killed a priestess right after getting the dungeon invite and when I looted her the blood didn't even pick up! What a load of freaking BS. Now I've got deserters debuff, and still don't have the dang quest!

Comment by Aluradanon

I just looted a Priestess and the bug is still active. However unlike WildKarrde (above comment), I WAS able to loot the blood. Unfortunately wasn't aware of the bug, so now I'm stuck...can't get into the instance as I'm a lvl 70. Good Times......

Comment by surasa

Still bugged, gets on my nerves that Blizz take so long to sort this out.

Comment by Puckette

Still bugged. I put in a ticket and just logged for the night. When I came back today, the response said that they were aware of it, but (1) if I want it done I'm going to have to do the LFG thing because the GM definitely didn't just "fix" this for me and (2) I was dead when I logged on. WTH.

Comment by tou2me2us

Still Bugged!

Comment by Bauvrina

This quest is still bugged even today. Sad...c'mon Blizz, fix this quest! I don't want to have to queue for a dungeon just to get around this. That's crazy-talk.

Comment by Pikehunter

OMG!

That was priceless!After getting into a random "Forge of Souls" grp and summoning the mob. The randoms just freaked out :D

Comment by Exx0r

You CAN finish this quest by queueing for Forge of Souls. When the queue pops just kill the mob and quickly zone in and press the blood. Just finished it doing this.

Comment by equestion

For those lvl 80's looking to complete this for Nagrand Slam - remember, you can always teleport out of Forge of Souls and get sent to wherever you originally were, and then teleport back in. I hung around the forge camp in Netherstorm until I got into a FoS run, completed the run like normal, teleported out back to the forge camp, killed a priestess/looted the blood, teleported back into the instance, and spilled the blood.

This might be a better method for people who experience long load times (it's often been >30 seconds for me as of late) when zoning into instances at the beginning.

Comment by Thrash777

Yup, still bugged, I just queued for FoS, when it popped up, I killed a priestess, looted blood, entered dungeon, spilt the blood, killed the quest mob. Group was like WTF?

Comment by doomkev

As of today, two months after the release of patch 3.3, this is still not fixed. It is a real pain seeing that I need this quest to open up the next chain so that I can obtain http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31002 . Plus I cant even get into the Forge of Souls!

Comment by Aletto

Patch 3.3.2 has fixed this quest. You can now pick up the blood and use it to summon the Avatar of Sathal at Forge Base Gehenna. :)

Comment by goregazm

as of the new patch you can now do this quest. ty blizz we need this quest for the nagrand ach.

Comment by AttilaJr

Now it WORKS again ;)

Comment by isthar

I have had the same bug - however after the new patch today (3.3.2) it seems to be fixed. Just finnished the Q (finally).

Comment by Azarik

This has been fixed. I dropped into an open area, cleared some mobs, and then killed a priestess. Spilled the blood and Avatar of Sathal spawned right in front of me. Never saw any error messages about having to be in the Forge of Souls.

Comment by Eucep

As of 3.3.3 this bug has been fixed, she is summonable again in Netherstorm.

Comment by Rojsag

Finally! this quest isn't bugged anymore. just did the quest and there where no problem! :)

Comment by RuinedSaint

Just finished this quest 10 minutes ago; worked fine.

Either got lucky or it's fixed.

Comment by Morgaledh

I'm not really sure what all the talk of a bug is here, maybe it's all old material (something from Jan 2010 seems to be the most recent). In any event, I did this quest today. Went to Netherstorm, killed a Wrath Priestess. She dropped the blood. I used the blood, the Avatar appeared. Killed the Avatar, the end.

No longer seems to be bugged, took me about 3 mins.

Comment by Lucindrina

Its fixed. I tried to do it a while ago and gave up. Tried again today and it worked fine.Bout time it got fixed. :)

Comment by Twofeather

Just did this and it worked perfectly as intended. Killed one priestess, got blood, spilled blood, got avatar, killed her, and done.

Comment by WillieBirkin

Today done the q and have it. Its fixed.:)

Comment by Geraden

The blood is absolutely not a 100% drop rate. I don't know what it is, but I've cleared the area of priestesses twice and haven't got it yet.

Comment by whtstfubtch

no longer bugged, easy quest.

Comment by Dractulamede

I did the quest today and there were no bugs, the princess was easy to see as the red letters above her head stood out against the brown background.

Got the blood on the first try and spilled it right away on the same spot.

Comment by Calinahodges

I did every quest for this guy and now he wont talk to me or give me anymore quests. I just need one more for Nagrand slam. Any advice anyone?

Comment by Thebe2

71 Hunter. This is very simple with a little strategery. Fly onto the flat in the back end of Forge Base: Gehenna around 40.50 17.25 to avoid drawing attention.Kill 2 easy Wrathbringers. Lay in wait for the Princess behind the rock formation sticking up around 40.34 17.28 and ambush her as she walks down the path. Move into the path so you are in the blue area about 39.91 17.82 and summon the Avatar with the blood. Easy 5 or 6 hit kill. Fly home.

Comment by prncssatta

I cannot complete the Nagrand Slam. I am 3 quests short and I cannot get the 6 quests from Altruis. This is the first one I'm missing. Any suggestions? I've done everything else that I am able to. I'm pulling my hair out here!
